Does the plugin requires JavaScript to be enabled on user's browser? | WordPress.org

Hello,

The description of this plugin says – “Blocks spam comments with the use of JavaScript”.

Does it mean that JavaScript needs to be enabled in website users’ browsers for this plugin to work?

Kindly clarify.

Thank you.

Yup, using JS requires that JS be enabled.

Thanks for the answer.

So, if a browser does not have JS enabled, what will happen? Will the user be able to submit his comment/form?

If there are any details about it somewhere, could you please share the link?

Thanks again.

No, if JS is disabled, the user won’t be able to submit comments. That’s what make this plugin work since most spam bots don’t use/read JS.

The details are on the plugins page, its uses JS. No JS, doesn’t work. Per the description, it’s based on David Walsh’s work: http://davidwalsh.name/wordpress-comment-spam
